There's a wave of minor crime against Trump administration officials, and I'm enjoying every moment of it.

Yesterday, a man destroyed Trump's Hollywood Star of Fame with a pickaxe. This past weekend, a group of vandals untied Education Secretary Betsy DeVos' $40 million yacht which was docked in Huron Ohio, causing an estimated $5,000-$10,000 in damage.

These are petty crimes that reap huge emotional rewards for the sad people of the internet.

The yacht's captain and crew eventually regained control of the boat, but not before it crashed into a dock and suffered multiple minor scrapes, the Toledo Blade reports.

The abjectly poor DeVos family only has nine other multi-million dollars yachts in their possession.

We are thinking of them, passive-aggressively, in this time of great need.
